Donald Trump erupted at the United Kingdom Tuesday morning over its refusal to join the United States in its war against Iran, issuing the European nation a notice that the United States would no longer be offering it “help.”

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

    Damn, what a petulant little child he is. Anyone who feels he is the right person for the job has not been paying attention

    Yes please, stop helping. And thank you! See? I didn’t forget to say it.

    But really, you have done more than enough. A LOT more. Some would say you have done way too much. Get on your couch, turn on the tv, order a Big Mac and please, please, stop helping.

    These numbnuts haven’t figured out that it’s not that hard for any other country to get their oil. Only the US and Israel need to suffer to this war.

    Even in that statement he seems to suggest taking oil from another sovereign country. Taking over other countries is sadly our British history, but not current practice, unlike the US.

    What is a king if his crown is worthless? Not a man of the people, but surrounded by cultists. Praised by the loudest, loved by the thoughtless. Crowned not by honor, but by lies that were endless.

    His walls crumble as whispers grow louder, Causing once-shaking hands to grip blades ever prouder. The throne he once clutched, now colder than stone, His fate sealed by the seeds of ruin he’d sown.

    He feasts while his kingdom is left to rot, Drunk on his power yet blind to the plot. A puppet on strings, now tangled and caught. If he ends up dead, then that is his lot.

    The crown on his head, a mockery now, A hollow gold band on a sweat-ridden brow. No glory remains, no trumpets resound, Only silence and ash on the burning ground.

    Betrayed not by foes but those he called his closest friends,

    Their daggers ensuring his rule meets its end. No prayers are whispered, no mourners will weep, For kings who sow torment shall fall just as deep.

    When he ends up dead, the people have spoken, A crown polished with falsehood is a crown that is broken. And a kingdom built on cruelty is one which ends with dread,

    The crown on his corpse was always a crown of the dead.

    At least the ruling class isn’t hiding behind diplomacy anymore while they rape and pillage the world. They are showing their true colors in their political and economic wars and in their personal behaviors (Epstein).

    I’m not saying the system was good (far, far from it) but this asshole walked into office and started dismantling 100 years of economic diplomacy and peace through trade. There’s no way you can tell me he isn’t a useful idiot for Russia.
